Dear All,

If a contractor has engaged less than 20 workers in a company and has not obtained a license from the Labor authority, is it necessary for them to maintain all registers and records as prescribed under the CLRA Act? Additionally, is it necessary for them to file a half-yearly return (Form 24)?

Please provide expert advice.

Dear friend,

It is better to maintain all the forms and registers of the CLRA Act/Rules. Since the day the limit is reached, it will be proved from the register of workmen that the limit was not crossed until the worker before the last one. However, there is no requirement of filing returns until the figure is crossed.

Thanks & Regards

Dear All, If the Principal employer registered under CLRA Act, each and every contractor must maintain all CLRA registers even though they engage less than 20 workmen.
